Abstract：Foraging is one of the most complicated behaviors of honeybees． It includes information evaluation，information transfer，learning and memory，energy metabolism and different foraging processes． Research on the molecular mechanism underlying bee foraging and communication will not only be conducive to theoretical study and the development of the bee industry，but may also provide insights into human language and information exchangesystems． This article reviews progress in research on honey bee foraging behavior at the behavioral，sensory and molecular levels，and proposes ideas for new research that could provide a sound basis for the in-depth study of foraging and communicative behavior．
